Intercessions...

Recently we were blessed to have one of Pastor's mentors Dr. Early come down to speak to us. (About the subject of spiritual warfare is what he covered at the volunteer meeting). One of the items he mentioned was intercession.

That brought me back, back before Lifepoint was Lifepoint (we were Lighthouse at the time) after the worship set Bill (see previous worship team post) and Lucy (who hosts the small group I attend) would sit in a back room and pray over the service. Lucy is amazing, to borrow a phrase she's someone who can pray down heaven.

When we moved to the new facility it's something that kind of fell away mainly because we didn't have the room setup with an easily accessible back room. However after Dr. Early's talk, it's something we're going to be starting up again. As I was just privileged to witness, there is some serious power in prayer.

I think that Jeremy is coordinating it, when Dr. Early told the story they started with a big buff former military (I think) guy just going up to people and go hey, you're praying with us today. If he can't get volunteers I might ask Jim to do just that for us! Jim's got a Heart for God and the Body of a tank.
